Objaśnienie

This verse makes one of the Gita's boldest claims about human nature. Everyone's faith follows the shape of his inner being (sattva, here in the sense of mind or character). A person is made of faith, śraddhāmaya; as the faith, so the person. Faith here is not only religious belief but the deep orientation of trust and value that guides a life. The verse suggests that to change one's life one must change what one truly trusts and values.
